Agave safety warning

Suppose it could be worse it could pluck its roots from the soil them get into your bedroom while you sleep and strangle you with its tendrils ....think ive been watching too much tele

 

There are plants like that. Squash, for instance.

 

As I mentioned, this particuly plant is now recyled and its spoors are probably growing in a garden near you..
Be afraid.. be very afraid...

 

and they said this gardening lark was a safe sport :confused:

 

Remember the "TRIFFIDS"

 

NO im too young

 

Or
The plant in.
"Little shop of horrors"
Thats was one hungry plant.

 

LOL doesn't sound like fun:eek: but on the bright side my little brother had his left nostril quarterised only a few weeks ago and he said that he didn't feel a thing and he's only 9 so it cant of hurt that much:thumb: (although my mum passed out:D)

Build me up and then knock me down why dont you..
I remember seeing someone having a nose job on the telly.
Guy was using a jigsaw to cut across the nose bone from the inside!
I passed out !...............

 

Thanks for wishes JWK
Seems it is quite a popular problem with the population these days.
There is no cure, and I feel the need to research it a bit more.
And it will come and go as and when it pleases.
But the good news is the Doctor says
"It will not be this that kills you"
I now wonder what will?
Theres a question we might pose on the forum.

How would you like to die?

May well be some interesting replies.

A good warning.

It sounds daft but i always wear my chainsaw helmet when tidying up the dead leaves on yucas or other similarly sharp plants after I like you nearly took out an eye.

 

Anybody else had a moment with a wayward plant?

 

Evening Robert.

Sorry to hear of your injury. :eek:

I for one can appreciate what you are saying as Agaves are normal here. I have a small garden but wouldn't have one if I had a large garden. They are much loved by tourists and are used intensively as 'border' plants, ie, bordering a property rather than a fence or stone wall .... would you walk through a line of them ... me'thinks not. They are best left to be wild in a wild garden/property ... NOT for the English garden in my opinion.

Hope all goes well with your injuries. xx

PS We posted around the same time .... A-OK on the Aloe Vera and it's healing properties .... I have a wonderful one I brought from the IoW and it's blooming now ..... 4 foot tall blooms. You can break off a piece of it, use it and put it in a plastic bag in the fridge for future use.
